sometimes when i dare to tell you

sometimes
i am flim flam
or skewiff
or shmeh-bleh
or other phrases
or syllables
crammed together
on the spot
because it’s easier
for nonsense
to be spoken
than to vocalise
the deep other
that lurks
mostly in a corner
but occasionally
darting out
shoving sense from
all sectors
and chaos reigns supreme

I'm Briar – Briar Lawry, if you were wondering which particular one. Raw Library is an anagram of my name and a place for my writing – about anything, in theory, but mostly about books, the music industry and chronic illness. And sometimes coffee.
